This Masquerade

Are we really happy With this lonely game we play? Looking for words to say Searching but not finding Understanding anywhere We're lost in this masquerade Both afraid to say we're just too far away From being close together from the start We tried to talk it over But the words got in the way We're lost inside this lonely game we play Thoughts of leaving disappear Every time I see your eyes No matter how hard I try To understand the reason That we carry on this way We're lost in a masquerade We could just start over But it's oh so hard to do When you're lost in a masquerade --- This Masquerade - Leon Russell
